FireEye Founder and CTO Ashar Aziz Named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur
Of The Year 2013 Award Winner in Northern California

FireEye®, Inc., the leader in stopping today's new breed
of cyber attacks, today announced that Ashar Aziz, FireEye founder and
CTO, received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013
Award in the Technology Infrastructure category in Northern
California. The award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who
demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as
innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their
businesses and communities. An independent panel of judges selected
Aziz, and the award was presented at a special gala on June 22nd at
the Fairmont San Francisco in San Francisco, California.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by Ernst & Young, among a group
of high-growth companies. The constantly evolving nature of advanced
cyber attacks and the threat that they pose to governments and
enterprises worldwide inspired me to invent the FireEye technology.”

The FireEye platform provides real-time, dynamic threat protection
without the use of signatures to protect an organization across the
primary threat vectors, including Web, email, and files. The core of
the platform is a virtual execution engine, complemented by dynamic
threat intelligence, to identify and block cyber attacks.

Now in its 27th year, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year
Program has honored the inspirational leadership of such entrepreneurs
as Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Michael Dell of Dell Inc., Herb Kelleher
of Southwest Airlines, Fred Smith of FedEx, Larry Page and Sergey Brin
of Google, Richard Schulze of Best Buy, Andrew Mason of Groupon, Mindy
Grossman of HSN, Inc., Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn, and
many more.

As a Northern California award winner, Aziz is now eligible for
consideration for the National Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013 Award.
Award winners in several national categories, as well as the National
Entrepreneur Of The Year Overall Award winner, will be announced at
the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 16,
2013. The awards are the culminating event of the Ernst & Young
Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of
high-growth, market-leading companies.

The Year Awards are nationally sponsored in the United States by SAP
